Practice Question 8.

Assembly ModelingModel the assembly shown in the figures provided. Use the following information. The assembly is a scissors lift containing seven components: Lower Base, Upper Base, Link, Pivot, Short Pin, Long Pin, and Shaft. There are two short pins, two long pins, two pivots, and eight links in the assembly.

�Unit system: IPS (inch, pound, second)�Assembly origin: As shown�Decimal places: ��A = �0.50�B = �.50�C = 3�°�Material: AISI 1020 for all components.�Each base has .0�5″ internal radii.�The shaft is centered in the assembly horizontally (from left to right) and vertically (between the lower base and upper base).�The shaft fits in the holes in the pivot (no clearance).�The pins fit in the holes at the ends of the links and each base (no clearance).�All links are oriented at the same angle (Angle C).�All holes are “through” holes.

What is the center of mass of the assembly with respect to the illustrated coordinate system?A. X=–1.35,Y=3.00,Z=4.25B. X=–1.35,Y=3.00,Z=3.75C. X=1.35,Y=3.00,Z=3.75D. X=1.35,Y=3.00,Z=4.25
